Disable Scroll Mouse

[John]

Hi,
How can I if possible disable the scroll wheel on a mouse to prevent users
scrolling through records.
I have a form which display one preselected record, all records selctors are
disabled but the mouse still scrolls through the records.

Regards

John

Hi there,

I recently encountered the same problem, and unfortunately the above
solution was not usable in this case.

If you have the time and inclination, try looking at the properties of
your form. i found that disabling additions, and setting the cycle
property to current record was enough to prevent the mouse wheel from
taking control of my application!

these are quick fixes, and the above solution is most likely the more
professional and efficient, but this is worth considering, if like me,
you are confined to not adding new DLLs.

Are you sure? I tried that with my Db and it didn't work, are you sure you
had the right parts of the form selected when you were trying to scroll?
